What is a freelance medical billing RCM?

A Freelance Medical Billing RCM (Revenue Cycle Management) professional is an independent contractor who helps healthcare providers manage the financial process of patient billing and insurance claims.

This role requires strong knowledge of medical coding, billing software, and healthcare laws.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a freelance medical billing RCM?
